on all who attempt to deride our fair terri

Occasionally We fnd person, particularly
ladies, who in re gard to names, and the pre-
fixes which usually accompany them, are very
consequential. We came across one the other

ed head like whirl-wind, and declared that
to prefix the term ''Miss' to u young lady 5
name was entirely improper and piece Of
egotism. We rise to remark that no matter

all young ladies expected to be addressed
with Miss, and always took a great deal Of
pride in tho same. If this is egotiam,
then nearly all in the social world are egot-

Miss to 9 Mrs. The latter would stfectually
cure her Of all old-fashioned ideas.

STRUGGLE WITH A MADMAN.


COLUMBIA, $. G., Feb l5-The life Of
Governor Richardson was endangered by
negro madman, who demanded money or
blood Baxter Dewalt, black Hercules,
walked up to the private secretary and
asked for the Governor. When asked his
business Dcwalt said that he had been sent
to the penitentary by a judge who
told him that at the expiration of his
sentence the State would be his and all
the officials would obey him, "Now,"
said he, Il own the State Bank
and wish the Governor to write out
check for the money in it or there will be
trouble He would not be put off, and for
time with large club ntimidatcd the
secretary, who was in such a position he
could not get help. The police were tele.
phoned for. Baxter said that he had but
one time to die, and would lose his life. if
necessary, to get his money or keep his
word and kill the Governor. The negro
portcrs around the State House would no,
20 near the lunatic. After making a mo-
tion as if to attack the private secre'
tary he left the office and proceeded to
that of the Secretary of State, While
there the police arrived. They tried TO
| capture Dewalt, and terrible struggle
| took place. The negro yelled in the most
terrible manner, and the strength dis
| played was appalling Finally, by the
combined strength Of half dozen men,
Dewalt was secured and taken to the
guard-housc. On his person were found a
box of cartridges and loaded revolver
If he could have seen the Governor he
| would have probably murdered him.

THE McMUNN RESCUERS.
An Important Clew to at Least the Identity
of the Thugs Who Assaulted Huliigan
and HOehne.

MAssILLoN, O., Feb. Blast night,
young, well-dressed and intelligent woman
went before Mayor Franz and made vol
untary statement, which is regarded as
an important clew TO at least the identity
Of the thugs who assaulted Hulligan and
Hochne at Ravenna. She gave her name
as Margery Robinson, wife Of Edward
Robinson, nephew of John Robinson, the
circus man, and says she was at Jennie
Rogers house, Pitts burgh, and assisted
to secrete the fur wraps stolen from
Benedict & Ruedy, Cleveland, when
they were taken there in trunks by an ex-
pressman. Her story condensed is that
regularly organized gang of crooks have
made Rogers house their resort, and that
three of them, Tom Hoddy, Joe johnson,
Smith Carson and her husband, went to
Alliance, the evening preceding the rescue
OF McMunn; that they returned to Pitts
burgh the following Monday, and that
johnson, who was shot in the encounter,
went to Harrisburg and died there
from the wound. She says that Off
GERS searched Rogers house three diff
erent times while the furs were there
and that they were stored in cup-boards
| and an ice-box in the basement. In
| explanation as to why she came here
which was on Friday morning to disclose
the tale, she said the gang had threatened
| her life that she did not intend from fear
| to give them away, but that after she came
out Of the opera-house last night she saw
| her husband, Hoddy and Carson on the
street and knew they were after her. She
appealed TO the mayor for protection, and
gladly consented to be confined in the city
prison, where she now is, and will be de-
tanned until Monday evening awaiting a
response from word sent to the chief of
| police of Pittsburgh. Minute descriptions
were given of the trio, but diligent search
failed to find them. A lengthy interview
was had with the woman tonight, She is
undoubtedly Of sound mind, and exacted a
promise that her name should not be used
in connection with any report of her state

EXCHANGING EYES.
A Ghastly Surgical Experiment in New
York.
Removing Rabbits Eye and Placing 1t In
Human Beings Head.

NEW YORK, Feb. 14-There has just been
tried in this city, for the first and probably
the last time, the experiment of transfer
ring the eye of living rabbit to the head
of a living human being. Mr.. Charles A.
Williams, the city editor Of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune, lost his right eye seventeen
years ago by the explosion of a tire-crack-
er A few months ago the lett eye began
to trouble him and the doctor told him he
would have to have the extinct eye re-
moved to save the other, Mr.. Williams
had read accounts of experiments
made in Paris and New York in
transplanting rabbits eyes. He came
here in the latter part Of JAN
uary and Offered himself as a subject to
DR.. May. The operation was performed on
the morning of February |. With Dr. May
there came to Mr., Williams room DR.. .Gruen-
ing, DR.. Wilmer, half dozen medical stu
dents and a professional nurse. The ami
nal which was to contribute an eye for Mr..
Williams adornment was very large Bel
gian hare, with eyes which almost matched
Mr.. Williams in color, except that they were
just a shade darker and 2.25 smaller. Mr..
Williams left the room and the rabbit
was placed on table and subjected
to the influence of ether. Mr.,
Williams was then brought to the
| room and laid upon a sofa a few feet away
| from the table on which lay the rabbit.
| When Mr.. Williams was also under the in
| tiuence Of ether, the first step in the opera
tion both upon the rabbit and upon Mr.,
| Williams eye was to cut loose the CON
| functional sack from the muscles Which
control the movement of the eye, and as
they were cut their ends were caught
with a ligature of silk thread The op.
tic nerves in the rabbits eye and in
the eye of the human being were sev'
| cred at about the same time, and the
| transfer was then made as quickly as pos
sible, the optic nerve joined and the mus
cles in the human head attached to the con
| functional sack of the rabbits eye, which
was then put into its place. The entire op
GRAFTON lasted an hour and quarter. Boil
eyes were tightly bandaged, and Mr.. vii
liams was placed upon his back in bed
On the second day, when the bandage
were removed, there was observable
slight ha2iness upon the corner Of tn
rabbit eye, and the fourth day Mr.. vii
liams was able to roll his eyes natural,
and simultaneously, proving the muscu
lar attachment had been perfected. o.
the evening of the eighth day there wa
slight discoloration and moisture on tn
bandage, which indicated rupture of tn
cornea. This enlarged, and on the mex
day nearly all the coloring matter of tn
iris ha run out. Nothing was left but
remove the rabbits eye, and Mr.. William
will in few days have glass eye put i

BOGUS MEDICAL DIPLOMAS.
A Correspondent Claims to Have Detected
m Alleged Physician In Lewiston, Me-,
Selling Medical Diplomas and Degrees.

BosToS, Feb. l2.--The Herald yesterday
morning devoted a whole page, claiming to
have detected an alleged physician named
Samuel York, of Lewiston, Me, in the
act of selling medical diplomas and
degrees. The Herdid's Investigations were
instigated by the fact that some time
ago, one Dr. James NJ Buzzel, of Portland,
was arrested for an alleged abortion, and a
few weeks later, "Dr." Morrill, was arrested
on similar charge in Lewiston, both claim
ing to be graduates of the Maine Eclectic
Medical College, of Lewiston. As Samuel
York, NJ. d., whose name is first on the list
of the incorporators Of the Maine Eclectic
College, as DR.. Samuel York, whose name
heads a similar list in connection with the
Maine Eclectic Medical lnfirmary, is the
very venerable Prof 3. York, Nj, d., Dean
of the Faculty of the Druidic University of
America, State Of Maine branch, he had
several strings 10 his bow. Some OF his Co
incorporators were reputable, well-mean-
ing people, but the whole concern was
practically managed by York When the
Eclectic Infirmary was started q clrcu-
liar was issued, announcing that the
design was to establish free hospital, and
Gifts were solicited. The Herd'd's repre-
sentative under the guise of student, was
enabled to hear the professor conduct a
"quiz" and much space is devoted in yester-
DAVIS article to that feature. According to
DR.. York's own statement the Druidic Uni
yersity has 5000 graduates, or rather 5000
individuals connected with it. DR.. York
cared nothing about the students Rnowl-
edge about the subject mentioned in
tho University catalogue, his sole
object being to get the price of diploma,
giving, in return, the degrees Of A. NJ, NJ
d., etc The Herald vouches for the truth
Of the story, and claims that 1t can be sub.
stantiated, if necessary, IN any court OF
law. In its investigation it has been en-
couraged in every possible manner by the
members of the medical profession in Maine.

FLOODED LYONS.
The Overlooked River still Courslng
Through the Streets-The Loss of Prop
erty Enormous.


Lyons. MlCH., Feb. l4--The ice-gorge is
frozen solid to depth or from i've to ten
feet The river is still flowing through
Main street, and merchants are building
trestle works to their stores, only
to find their goods frozen in ice
The cold weather has settled the
water nearly a foot, but made work al
most impossible. The men working in the
water are coated with ice. The first mails
since last Wednesday arrived to-day being
carried across the gorge below. Families
who were driven from their homes with
out change of clothing are returning in
boats through the windows, to find every
thing covered with ice. The whole coun.
try from Lyons to Muir presents an Artic
panorama of desolation, Many merchants
have been unable to visit their stores since
Thursday morning, and several who
attempted it were swept down by the
current and narrowly escaped death
All the merchants lose heavily, all manu-
featuring establishments are crippled and
many buildings ruined, The ice gorge
shows no signs of breaking, extending as
a solid glacier five miles long and fifteen
or twenty feet thick. The loss of property
is enormous and will doubtless reach $780,
600. The Holly Water-works building
stands in the midst of the flood and has
been literally ground to pieces.

The Slayer of wilkes Booth, Becomes
Insane and Terrorlzes the Kansas House
of Representatives.
TOPEKA, KAs,, Feb. lj.-Boston Corbett,
the man who gained reputation as the
slayer of John Wilkes Booth, has added
somewhat to his notoriety by to-day terror
izing and capturing for a time the Kansas
House of Representatives COrbett is
confirmed crank, and has made him
self somewhat notorious in various
ways. He was, at the commence
ment Of the Legislature, appointed
assistant door-keeper. There have
been few signs of insanity until to-day.
This morning he strapped on two revolvers
and box Of cartridges, and, with drawn
weapon, drove the negro attendant from
the Representative Hall. Sergeant-at-
Arms Norton attempted TO expostulate,
when Corbett cooked his revolver, and,
pointing it directly at the officer, told him
to travel. He travelled. The maddened
man Teen searched for Speaker
Smith, md, meeting member
who somewhat resembleu tine Speaker, was
about to fire when the member threw up
his hands and said he was not the Speaker.
The member was permitted TO move on.
Corbett then took possession OF the Speak
er's gallery, and walking in front of the
doors, held it during the entire fore
noon session, refusing to allow any one
to come near. Three city policemen
were called, but they would not ven
ture into the dark corridor, and the
slayer of Booth held possession. AT twelve
O'Clock he sent word down to the House
to adjourn or he would come down and
adjourn it himself. The House adjourned.
Corbett was afterward captured in the
lower corridor, disarmed and taken to
the police station, where he is now con-
fined. He will be taken before the pro.
bate Judge, adjuged insane and confined in
an aSVlum
